    The mysterious Plain of Jars in northern Laos — a landscape dotted with massive stone jars hewn from sandstone thousands of years ago — was likely used as a burial site for much longer than previously suspected, and perhaps for up to 2,000 years, according to new research.

    The massive jars, which were likely used to expose the dead to the elements until only their bones were left to be buried, could be more than 3,000 years old, new tests suggest.

    The latest research from the Plain of Jars combines the ages of some of the stone jars with the ages of some of the burials – most of the burials were found to be much younger than the stone jars.

    Plain of Jars – Jar with lid

    Stone lids with animal carvings have been found at a few sites such as Ban Phakeo (Site 52).

    The bas-relief carvings are thought to depict monkeys, tigers and frogs.

    The Massive Stone Jars Left by Ancient Giants: Lao's Plain of Jars

    Laos, a landlocked country in Southeast Asia, is home to one of the most bizarre historical spectacles archeologists have ever laid eyes on.

    Spanning hundreds of square kilometers of rugged grassland is the Plain of Jars, so called because of the 3,000 massive, hollow stone vessels scattered across the land -- some weighing up to 30 tons and measuring up to ten feet in height.
